Editor’s Note from May 26, 1972

Christian education is the focal point of interest in this issue. The lead editorial deals with identity, ideology, and finances in Christian colleges. One financial alternative—“evangelical living and learning centers”—is proposed by Frank Nelsen. Fred Thompson digs down to a basic point: man’s need to learn. Two articles will be of special interest to seminary students: W. Stanford Reid writes on how to respond to destructive biblical criticism, and E. Earle Ellis asks, “What good are Hebrew and Greek?”

We are happy to report that our news editor, Edward E. Plowman, won a special award from Religious Heritage of America for “his perceptive coverage and analysis of the Jesus Movement in America in articles in the magazine; and for his book The Jesus Movement in America.”

Keeping abreast of the citations and awards accorded our board member Billy Graham is not easy. Among the latest are the 1972 Franciscan International Award for “true ecumenism” and the West Point Sylvanus Thayer Award for outstanding devotion to the ideals of duty, honor, and country.

What was probably the last published article by J. Edgar Hoover, “A Morality For Violence,” appeared in our April 28 issue. Just a few days before his death we received a letter of appreciation from him. Our contributing editor Dr. Edward L. R. Elson, minister of National Presbyterian Church and Senate chaplain, conducted the funeral services.
